For quite a long time (several months) I have been trying to register to this Debian Forum as a user but I could never get the registration system to accept many of the answers I gave and was repeatedly blocked.
I am aware that there was a problem related to the use of gmail which was shown at the top of the page but in spite of that I continued to try but was thrown off time and again. Whether my email being a gmail address was the problem I do not know but I did notice that the warning at the top had now disappeared so thought it worth trying again. This time - - - Success!
Now at last I have managed to register and created this first post, not as a complaint but simply to say how pleased I am to have at last managed to get here and be able to add comments and hopefully add to the huge fount of knowledge that is this forum.
I have been using Debian for a long time and also many of the distros based on Debian, notably Ubuntu (actually Xubuntu since the days of Ubuntu's move to the Unity DE) and Mint, both the Ubuntu based and Debian based versions. I find them all remarkably similar and now with my registration to this forum I hope to be able to assist in as many ways as possible here as I currently do already in the Ubuntu and Mint forums..
